Abstract: Various embodiments include methods for rotor anomaly detection and response for an aerial robotic vehicle. A processor of the aerial robotic vehicle may obtain data from a sensor onboard the aerial robotic vehicle configured to detect anomalies in rotors. The processor may determine whether an anomaly is detected in any rotor based on the obtained data and take an action in response to detecting an anomaly in one or more rotors. Examples of actions that may be taken in response to detecting a rotor anomaly include preventing the aerial robotic vehicle from lifting-off, limiting operations of the aerial robotic vehicle within certain performance limits, and issuing a maintenance alert by the processor.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relates to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) having vibration dampening and isolation capabilities, the UAV including a first frame portion, a second frame portion, and a third frame portion. Each of the first frame portion, the second frame portion, and the third frame portion is separated from one another. At least one first support member inelastically coupling the first frame portion and the third frame portion. At least one second support member elastically coupling the second frame portion and one or more of the first frame portion or the third frame portion to isolate the first frame portion and the third frame portion from vibration of the second frame portion.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for performing autonomous self-service are described. A robotic device may identify a status of a chamber associated with the robotic device based on sensor data received from a sensor of the robotic device and pause an autonomous debris collection process of the robotic device based on the identified status. The robotic device may automatically remove a first container from the chamber based on the identified status and discard the first container away from the robotic device. In some examples, the robotic device may discard the first container at a fixed position within a geo-boundary corresponding to the debris collection process. The robotic device may resume the autonomous debris collection process based on an introduction of a second container.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and vehicles, such as an autonomous vehicle, a semi-autonomous vehicle, etc., for collaboratively directing one or more headlights among vehicles traveling in a platoon. Various aspects may include transmitting, by a first vehicle processor of a first vehicle traveling in the platoon, a collaborative lighting plan to a second vehicle traveling in the platoon, wherein the collaborative lighting plan may direct the second vehicle to direct one or more headlights of the second vehicle in a direction other than a direction of travel of the platoon. The first vehicle processor may then direct one or more the headlights of the first vehicle in accordance with the collaborative lighting plan.

Abstract: Various embodiments include processing devices and methods for managing cleaning behavior by a cleaning robot. In some embodiments, a processor of the cleaning robot may obtain user planning information and user location information from one or more information sources external to the cleaning robot. The processor may analyze the user planning information and the user location information. The processor may determine one or more cleaning parameters for the cleaning robot based on the analysis of the user planning information and the user location information. The processor may generate an instruction for the cleaning robot to schedule an operation of the cleaning robot based on the one or more cleaning parameters. The processor may execute the generated instruction to perform the operation of the cleaning robot.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and vehicles, such as an autonomous vehicle, a semi-autonomous vehicle, etc., for collaboratively directing or configuring one or more headlights of a vehicle to avoid visually interfering with operation of an oncoming vehicle. Various embodiments may include receiving, by a first vehicle processor, a first collaborative lighting message from a second vehicle, wherein the first collaborative lighting message requests that the first vehicle direct one or more headlights of the first vehicle to avoid visual interference with operation of the second vehicle and directing one or more the headlights of the first vehicle in accordance with the collaborative lighting plan. Directing the headlights to avoid visual interference with operation of the second vehicle may include switching the headlights to a low-beam configuration.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods performed by a processor of a robotic vehicle for detecting and responding to obstructions to an on-board imaging device that includes an image sensor. Various embodiments may include causing the imaging device to capture at least one image, determining whether an obstruction to the imaging device is detected based at least in part on the at least one captured image, and, in response to determining that an obstruction to the imaging device is detected, identifying an area of the image sensor corresponding to the obstruction and masking image data received from the identified area of the image sensor.
